The Haberdashery of Haiku
... and occasional Tanka... and Haibun. Started after a competition on the unbound.co.uk blog (see #1 and #2). Mostly actually senryu, I think. This year attempting to publish a Haiku every day - 365 Haiku a Day. For good or for ill, I always aim to stick rigidly to a 5-7-5 structure - forgive me if I have counted the syllables wrong, often they are how I have said, or thought, them in my head rather than their official number.

speaks as if in tongues to me
metaphors are hard

parabolist speech
always giving pause for thought
as i decipher

#1926 and #1927 (#189)
singular breakdance
a cause of a disturbance
not a dance at all
